'''Status:''' [[Image:Attention.png]] ''This is a [[Proposed Style Guideline|ProposedStyleGuideline]] and an [[Open Style Issue|OpenStyleIssue]]. It is not yet agreed on.'' |
|||
This style guide applies to tracks that are labeled as medleys or tracks that have multiple songs. |
|||
'''The general style should be "TrackTitle" if ''all'' of the songs in the medley are not original to the medley (i.e. if the same recording was released elsewhere) or "TrackTitle: SongTitle 1 / SongTitle 2 / ..." if at least one of the songs is original to the medley.''' |
|||
If there is no TrackTitle, it should be left out along with the ": ". |
|||
If there are no SongTitles, they should be left out along with the ": ". If the songs that make up the medley are listed somewhere other than the [[Track List]] and the recordings were released elsewhere, they should be linked with [[Advanced Relationships]]. If they're listed elsewhere and are original to the medley, they should be added to the appropriate annotation. |
|||
If the TrackTitle ends in "medley" it should be changed to "(medley)" unless the TrackTitle ''is'' "medley" in which case it shouldn't be changed. Also, if the word medley is obviously part of the TrackTitle it should not be converted to (medley). |
|||
If a SongTitle is repeated, it should be listed each time as if it weren't the same SongTitle. |
|||
Song numbers or letters should not be included. |
|||
You should use the [[Medley Relationship Type]] to link a medley to the individual songs, recorded elsewhere, that make it up if the songs are not original to the medley. |
|||
==Example== |
|||
===Real Examples=== |
|||
These are real-life examples. |
|||
* [http://musicbrainz.org/track/d5ebe441-df40-4667-9431-a891cbb47807.html "Mercyful Fate: Satan's Fall / Curse of the Pharaohs / A Corpse Without Soul / Into the Coven / Evil"] |
|||
** using "TrackTitle: SongTitle / SongTitle / ..." because the songs are original to the medley |
|||
* [http://musicbrainz.org/track/4b876149-a045-4d60-86f4-c618890e08ec.html "Contney's Yard / Heave Together / My Needs"] |
|||
** using "SongTitle / SongTitle / ..." because there's no TrackTitle |
|||
* [http://musicbrainz.org/track/783e7927-87a4-4fbd-bfd0-3ae61ded8af6.html "Shirei Ro'im Ve'o'havim (medley): Shir Hashomer / Erev Shach / Ro'e Vero'a / Shir Hakad / Debka Rafi'ach"] |
|||
** using "TrackTitle: SongTitle / SongTitle / ..." because the songs are original to the medley |
|||
** "Medley" becomes "(medley)" |
|||
* [http://musicbrainz.org/track/0c941c46-1e2f-435e-8027-af0559ff9e07.html "Die längste Single der Welt"] |
|||
** using "TrackTitle" because the songs are not original to the medley |
|||
** Note: this track is '''not''' completely correct, it should have [[Advanced Relationships]] to the correct tracks. |
|||
===Theoretical Examples=== |
|||
These examples should cover every possible scenario. |
|||
* Foo |
|||
** Bar |
|||
** Baz |
|||
** Quux |
|||
should be "Foo: Bar / Baz / Quux" |
|||
* Foo Medley |
|||
** Bar |
|||
** Baz |
|||
** Bar |
|||
should be "Foo (medley): Bar / Baz / Bar" |
|||
* Medley |
|||
** Bar |
|||
** Baz |
|||
** Quux |
|||
where the Quux recording has been released elsewhere, should be "Medley: Bar / Baz / Quux" with [[Advanced Relationships]] to the Quux recording that was used in the medley |
|||
* This Is a Great Medley |
|||
** Bar |
|||
** Baz |
|||
** Quux |
|||
should be "This Is a Great Medley: Bar / Baz / Quux" |
|||
* |
|||
** Bar |
|||
** Quux |
|||
should be "Bar / Quux" |
|||
* Foo |
|||
** Bar |
|||
** Quux |
|||
where the recordings of Bar and Quux have been released elsewhere, should be "Foo" with [[Advanced Relationships]] to the Bar and Quux recordings that were used in the medley |
|||
* Foo Medley |
|||
should be "Foo (medley)" |
